Joint Venture Initiative With our Joint Venture (JV) partner Quantum Business Enterprises, Farthing West has been working to fill in many gaps that are often missed in western implementations of Lean Thinking.  We have recently brought to the market a series of innovative and powerful tools that get you closer in time and place to the problem event, so you can deal with root causes and quickly transform your people into effective ‘worker problem solvers’.  For example, our new messaging tool, the SMS Blaster, is able to link a mobile phone number to almost any software application in a matter of minutes as a way of “making problems visible” in real time.
